Sip

Is sipping from the Milky Way
like sipping from a flower?
I ask the bee and butterfly
but they just buzz or flutter by,
so I tip my tongue to the yellow
button heart of feverfew
and get wildly drunk
on its pollen-sugared dew.

It’s a great herb from the daisy family that has a wide range of medicinal uses, mainly as an anti-inflammatory and pain killer, especially for migraine headaches and rheumatoid arthritis. It has also been used to help with infertility, as well as problems with menstruation and childbirth.

Oh I love the rhymes…..the sipping, the bees and butterflies, and getting “wildly drunk
on its pollen-sugared dew”. I feel druink with spring reading this! Now if we just just jump from February to May!!! 🙂 And PS: the daisy, with the sunflower, are my favorite flowers. 🙂

This is incredibly beautiful, Kim! ❤️ I love the rhyming and imagery here which fills the mind with hope and all things sweet! 😀 “I tip my tongue to the yellow button heart of feverfew and get wildly drunk on its pollen-sugared dew.” Wowww!! 😍😍
